4 Program Overview In 2015 Military Assistance Mission (MAM) met the needs of over 8,000 military members, veterans and families in the state of Arizona. Our goal is to provide for a need and bring a smile to each face. In 2016, our classroom space will be up and running, where MAM will be able to host seminars on financial planning, taxes, resume writing, couponing, car repair, and The much more. These seminars will be open to service members, spouses, and veterans at no cost. The core objective of MAM is meeting the emergency financial needs of families. Our primary targets are active duty military members rank E1-E6 as well as veterans with a Purple Heart post 9/11. However, because of a growing need, MAM decided to extend limited assistance to reservists as well. In 2015 our financial assistance program helped 71 unique needs of our men and women in uniform, wounded warriors, and their families totaling over 67,000 dollars in grants. These grants paid for needs like rent, utilities, and car payments. morale program was just as impressive, with over 3,000 Military members being on the receiving side. Our food pantry was opened to all enlisted service members and veterans and provided non-perishable goods to over 50 families in Each year MAM has the pleasure of holding two major events for the children of our service members; both set records of attendance this past year. The Back To School Brigade served over 1,700 service members and families with school supplies for the upcoming year. Our annual Operation Holiday Open House welcomed more than 1,600 people in Phoenix and Tucson to help make their Christmas special. In addition, the Holidays For Heroes program ( adopt a family ) paired businesses and individuals with 45 military families this past Christmas. Through our partnerships with local sports franchises, theaters and businesses, MAM gave away tickets to Phoenix area sporting and performing arts events. More than 6,000 tickets were distributed to events ranging from Diamondbacks games to performances at Childsplay Theater. In particular, the Seats-For-Soldiers program with Sanderson Ford allowed our heroes to be recognized at sporting events. Our second annual Freedom Breakfast, honoring those in uniform, was held on September 11th This event brought the community together to remember 9/11, our heroes and take care of those currently serving. The Mighty Military Invitational, now in its seventh year, continues to be an event our service members look forward to. We look forward to the mission of serving our Arizona military, their families, and our wounded heroes through financial and morale aid.

5 Our Impact...In their own words "It is especially nice to know as a military family we are cared for and appreciated for the sacrifices made. Not only the sacrifices our soldiers have made through deployments, training, etc. But also the sacrifice families make supporting their soldier and country. Personally, I knew what I was marrying into (ie But you never truly know like delivering twins by c-section while your husband is Afghanistan, etc.). My children on the other hand did not sign a contract with our government or their name on a marriage license. Thank you Military Assistance Mission for acknowledging them which is truly honoring. God bless you and the work you do! - December 20th, 2015 "Thank you so much for our tickets! My husband active duty AF and our dear friend who is medically retired Army really enjoyed themselves! Thank you, thank you! Nice to see them smiling!" 2nd, 2015 October Margy, We met last Friday at the NOSC on Luke Air Force Base and, I wanted to take a minute to say thank you for you, and what your organization does. My family and I will enjoy the Diamondbacks tickets! It truly means a lot to be recognized as an Active Duty Service Member. I also wanted to give my sincerest condolences for the loss of your son. His service and sacrifice did not go in vain. April 1, 2015 If I said 'Thank You' a million times it still wouldn't be enough to show you all just how much my family appreciates all that you do for the military community. You've made our day brighter and our Christmas as well. The event today at Luke was so well organized and all of the volunteers were so happy to assist us. THANK YOU MAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - May 12th, 2015 "Thank You MAM and Sanderson Ford for the Seats For Soldiers Cardinals tickets! Jen Welter, first female coach, came over and took pictures with my daughter. She even signed the field pass!!"
